Chapter 81 - Steal the Fire Ball Spell (1/2)

Lu Sanchun hurries to take over the two stones from Lin Luoran’s hands.

Though he knows that “Miss. Lin” is strong, he can’t stand letting a woman carry such heavy things under his watch.

“Miss. Lin, what do you need these stones for?” Lu Sanchun is muscular, and even he himself is having a hard time with the stone. He can’t figure out why Lin Luoran, a delicate woman, can carry them so easily.

Lin Luoran smiles, “There is good stuff in the stone. You’ll see.”

Lu Sanchun still can’t get it. Nevertheless, he scratches his head and carries the stone upstairs for Lin Luoran.

Commander Qin doesn’t seem to be at home. Lin Luoran first goes to check on Baojia, who has stopped sweating in black. Also, Reiki inside Baojia is stable now. Thinking of the five kinds of “Taoist root” Commander Qin talks about, Lin Luoran wonders which kind does Baojia belong to.

Wait, which kind of “Taoist root” does herself belong to?

It suddenly occurs to Lin Luoran that she has been absorbing Reiki from the bead while meditating. Those pure Reiki don’t seem to belong to a specific kind. She has never tried to interact with the five kinds of Reiki in the world!

Days before, Wen Guanjing was able to direct the fire Reiki by knitting a print with his hand. Is his Taoist root belonging to fire?

An extremely good memory is the bonus of her cultivation. Lin Luoran now remembers that on the night of fighting, even his hand moved very fast, Wen Guanjing didn’t just knit the print once because he was interrupted by her again and again. Thus Lin Luoran actually had observed his gestures for several times.

His gestures, were like this?

Lin Luoran moves her finger and walks out of Baojia’s room slowly.

She went to buy jade earlier this day in the hope of studying the magic circle in Commander Qin’s jade pendant. She suddenly realizes now that compared with the sophisticated magic circle, the Fire Ball spell Wen Guanjing casted that day should be easier to master. After all, she has witnessed the entire process of the spell-casting, but the cracked magic circle on the pendant needs to be tested.

The Qin’s villa is large and has a quiet balcony on the roof. Lin Luoran is afraid that trying to cast the Fire Ball spell may set the house on fire, so she goes up to the balcony.

She takes a deep breath and starts to think back of the entire process of Wen Guanjing casting the Fire Ball spell with her eyes closed.

He first straightened his middle finger and little finger and crossed the other three fingers of the right hand. His thumb and middle finger were both put on the second knuckle of the ring finger— People who don’t have long and flexible fingers may have cramps by doing this. Cultivation is really hard!

Lin Luoran sighs in her heart and starts to do the second gesture— There are a total of 36 hand gestures for the Fire Ball spell casting!

With her good memory, Lin Luoran thinks for a little while and slowly makes all the 36 hand gestures.

She finishes remembering and starts all over again. She makes the 36 gestures consistently— Obviously, Lin Luoran is not a blockbuster, and it will be a miracle if she can pull this off the first time she tries!

However, Lin Luoran is not hoping that she can succeed now. After all, she steals the spell from Wen Guanjing, which is indeed degrading. It’s a nice day. Lin Luoran just lies down on the deck chair and keeps pondering.

That day during the fight, Wen Guanjing’s hand moved really fast. He must have practiced the spell thousands of times.

Lying on the chair, Lin Luoran’s body is relaxed, but her right hand keeps practicing those 36 gestures. When Ms. Huang calls her to have dinner, she can’t stop practicing even with chopsticks in her right hand. Lin Luoran smiles to Ms. Huang’s astonishment and hurries back to the balcony after finis.h.i.+ng eating.

She is so keen on these 36 hand gestures that she forgets to ask why Commander Qin isn’t home for dinner.

Lin Luoran is never a smart person. She was able to enter the high school in the county and go to university in the provincial capital all because of her hard work. Lin Luoran could stand doing boring physics questions over and over again. Now, she is interested in the Fire Ball spell, so she doesn’t feel bored by repeating those gestures.

She keeps practicing till the night comes and her hard work finally pays off— She can do all the 36 hand gestures within a time that only 10 seconds longer than that of Wen Guanjing needs.

It’s a pity that Lin Luoran still doesn’t master the key of casting this spell. She wonders that does time really matters that much?

Maybe not. When Wen Guanjing casted the spell, he clearly managed to interact with the Reiki around him. But she fails to do this in her practice.
